Code Ninjas Vancouver East — Coding

My son attended the weekly coding program at Code Ninjas Vancouver East, and overall, we had a solid experience. The small group size allowed him to get personalized attention from the instructor, Mia, who was not only knowledgeable but also very engaging. They tackled a project where the kids built their own simple games, which really sparked his creativity. I appreciated how much he learned in just a few sessions. However, I did notice there was quite a bit of screen time involved, which I've been trying to limit at home. Also, the pickup process could be a bit chaotic at times, making it hard to find him quickly among all the kids. Still, if your child enjoys coding and is looking for a creative outlet, I would recommend checking it out. The cost is a bit on the higher side, but for the skills they gain, it feels worthwhile.

My son recently attended the coding program at Code Ninjas Vancouver East, and overall, we had a pretty solid experience. He’s in the age 8-10 bracket and was excited to dive into creating his own video game. The instructor, a friendly guy named Jake, really connected with the kids and made the coding concepts engaging through fun projects. I appreciated the small group size, which allowed for more personalized attention. However, check-in and pick-up were a bit chaotic with long lines, especially on the first day. My son, who is usually quite focused, sometimes got distracted by the other kids, but he still managed to finish a cool game prototype by the end of the session. I think the environment is great for nurturing a budding interest in tech, but parents should be prepared for some line waiting. We’ll likely return next week!
